Description
The domain preparation that takes place when you install Skype for Business Server does not automatically add the permissions that enable members of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group to run the Enable-CsTopology cmdlet. That means that, by default, you must be a domain administrator in order to enable a topology. To give members of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group the right to enable a topology you must run the Grant-CsSetupPermissions cmdlet. In addition, you will need to run this cmdlet against each Active Directory container that houses computers running Skype for Business Server.
Keep in mind that this cmdlet only grants permissions to the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group; the cmdlet cannot be used to grant permissions to other security groups or to individual users.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
Grant-CsSetupPermission -ComputerOU "ou=CsServers,dc=litwareinc,dc=com"
The command shown in Example 1 grants setup permissions for the CsServers OU in the domain litwareinc.com.
